Unfamiliar Place - Luke Sawczak

"If an experience leads into an unfamiliar place, problems arise—problems being the stimulus for thought." ~John Dewey

Welcome to an unfamiliar place!

Hello! I'm Luke Anthony Sawczak. My site is intended to host and share my creative work. You might ask, why "unfamiliar"? I believe we should always be going from the known into the unknown, from the familiar into the unfamiliar, from security into faith. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, but we shouldn't be too comfortable, either.

Who am I? I won't promote myself here; if you want to get to know me, get in touch with me! That said, there are a few basic things you should know: I’m a sincere Christian and a modest Canadian in my second year of university, studying French, Education, and Philosophy, and I have always had a desire to express my creativity.

What I love to do is art. Specifically, I love to write (Prose and Poetry), to take pictures (mostly nature Photography), to compose (classical Music), and to act (in Theatre). Check out the tabs on the top of the page to see each of my hobbies, and judge for yourself!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy what I do.

This site hosts a lot of downloads. To make it easier, all the download links are pictures of what type of file it is. If you're not familiar with the icons, here's a quick explanation:

~ PDF file. Opens with Adobe Reader. It takes longer to load than most, but it will always display exactly what I intended.

~ DOC file. Opens with Microsoft Word. Usually displays correctly, takes a modest time to load.

~ TXT file. Opens with Notepad or your browser. Very easy and quick to download, no aesthetics at all.

~ MP3 file. Plays with any music player. All MP3s on this site are 128 Kbps (average quality. If you want a higher quality version, ask me. Note: if it opens in your browser but you want to download it, right-click the link and choose "Save As".

~ MP3 files for Free Daily Melody in the Music tab, colour coded for orchestrated vs original. (These are slightly higher quality.)

~ YouTube. Opens a new window for the movie to play in.

Downloads always open in a new window/tab.

I created this site in January 2009. I update it now and then to correct outdated info or showcase new works. It was last updated January 2013 (photograph captions removed).
